[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 518455, member: 8"] For target shooting get something built on a 308 case such as a 243, 260, 7-08 or 308. Get into F-class competition there in Louisiana and learn the basics of long range shooting. Does not need to be a custom rifle. Savage makes some good off the shelf target rifles. Then next year apply for antelope tags in Wyoming and go and hunt antelope. It is about the easiest form of long range hunting there is. You have a extremely high rate of success. Elk and deer hunting is much lower success rate and the learning curve to successfully hunt them is much harder and longer. If you cannot kill antelope at long range then you are really not likely to succeed at long range elk. How to build a rifle is predicated upon your style of hunting. There are light walk around rifles and heavy sit in one spot rifles. Calibers are a lot of personal choice and simply needs to be adequate for the range and the game. [/QUOTE]
